My favorite sage once told me "better look out" else you won't "see" :-) This is a wanderer's wanderlust !!, an attempt to navigate through the omnipresent urban blindness, albeit without any kind compass, and yet, inadvertently and magically, stumble upon the ever elusive truth.

Was talking to someone about the new year party (the same one by Morons and Mammons)…and he said all of this is essential to impart social skills and culture to the kids. He was telling me that I shall “appreciate” these social dos a little more when I have “kids of my own.”

WTF???

If this is the culture and social skills my kid is going to have (or need)….he can acquire it when he has to. Till then, papa is going to go into his Himalayan Abode and behave as a recluse.

(I wanted to tell the hare brained invididual I was talking to…that “kids of my own” or not….but “brains of my own” I do already have and extensively use.)

(Also…WTF ???? what kind of social skills does a kid develop when he hears Sunidhi croon…..my name is Sheila….Sheila ki jawani).
